Update 1 Seeking Subscriptions (6)_1 Jian Ran: “…”

Ignoring.

Jian Ran pretended she didn’t hear and almost fled the office in escape.

Gu Mochen…

Shameless.

…

Gu Mochen watched as Jian Ran’s flustered figure fled in panic, his thin lips curving into a faint, amused smirk.

It seemed only Jian Ran could stir up such eagerness within him.

But then again, because it was Jian Ran.

He was willing to give her enough time to walk into the net…

If it were forceful, and it killed the thrill instantly, that would be terribly dull.

Gu Mochen’s thin lips pressed together slightly, his dark eyes flashing with an alluring brilliance.

Hmm…

He looked forward to Jian Ran surprising him over and over again.

When it came to the woman he wanted, he did not wish to confine her, but neither did he want her to stray beyond his protection.

As Gu Mochen pondered, his private phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

Gu Mochen’s brows furrowed for a moment, then he quickly picked up the call.

“Uncle, it’s me.”

At the sound, Gu Mochen’s lips involuntarily lifted in a smile.

Tang Bao…

“Why are you calling me from a new number?”

“Um, Uncle, this is the teacher’s phone, sigh… I missed you so much during nap time…”

At her words, warmth flooded Gu Mochen’s eyes.

Yes, being missed and thought of every day by a little girl wasn’t a bad feeling.

“Hmm.”

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth, um… Xiaoming just said I don’t have a daddy again, so I borrowed the teacher’s phone to call my daddy.

But I didn’t have anyone to call, so I could only call you.”

Gu Mochen: “…”

The little girl’s once chipper voice faltered, and Gu Mochen could clearly hear the loss in her words.

A bit pitiful, with a choking strength in it.

Hearing this, Gu Mochen felt a tight pull at his heart, and it ached unbearably.

“Hehe, Uncle, I’m calling from the hallway, all the kids are sleeping in their beds.

Now that they see me calling my daddy, they’ll definitely believe I have one, right?

Can I show off to them later?”

Gu Mochen could hear the carefulness in Tang Bao’s voice and felt immensely heartbroken.

“Of course, you can…”

Children without a daddy by their side.

Gu Mochen’s eyes darkened slightly as he reflected, his own childhood had not been different.

At the core, he and Tang Bao were quite similar.

She grew up without a father; he might as well have grown up without one.

So he understood her feelings all too well.

Hearing Gu Mochen agree that she could boast to the other children, Tang Bao was thrilled, and, thinking of something, she spoke softly, “Then Uncle, when I call you from kindergarten, can I call you daddy?

I… I want to boast.

Okay, Mommy always says children shouldn’t boast or lie, but I really miss daddy… And I don’t want the other kids to know I don’t have one.”

Tang Bao pouted her little mouth, speaking tentatively, her big bright eyes brimming with tears, as if she was about to cry.

At her words, something stirred in Gu Mochen’s heart, and he replied firmly.

“That’s okay.”

“Wow… Uncle I love you, no no, Daddy, I love you.”

Gu Mochen, hearing the little girl’s ‘Daddy’ over the phone, was taken aback and stood frozen in place.
